United Confederate Defense Force - Naval Branch - Skyship Command
Skyship Command is basically the Confederacy's version of a navy mixed with air force elements. Founded after the formation of the Confederacy, several decades after the Waking War. It took about two centuries after that for the organization to settle into its current form. Their motto translates to "Wings of Victory".
Each province has it's own military forces to defend their borders. However, each province provides troops and equipment to the United Confederate Defense Force. This organization defends the entire Confederacy's borders. They provide protection and assistance through out the Confederacy as well. When dealing with foreign agents and assaults, it is the United Confederate Defense Force that are dispatched to do so. The Skyship Division most of all. It is the most well known division of the UCDF, both within the Confederacy and beyond.
The head of the Skyship division is the "Chief of Ship Operations". The most senior rank is the "Grand Admiral" who heads the entire fleet.
Dress uniform comprises of a waist-length blue suit coat and trousers, cream colored shirt, and a distinct cap. The suit coat has a stand collar and rows of buttons going down the front. During the warmest seasons and regions, the color combination is reversed.
Whilst the organization holds duty, loyalty, and honor high, not all conduct themselves by these values. A lamentable amount of the officers and enlisted grow greedy. Abusing their authority and power to take advantage of others less fortunate. To act in detestable ways. It is because of this, that the lower class have become leery of those in uniform. That Skyship Command works with civilians the most compounds the issue. The lack of quality equipment for lower class areas and its high capacity for accidents makes it worse as well.
The infamy and attitudes of some of the high-profile members, causes many to be wary of crossing them.
